The youngest player in ATP history to top the world rankings, Alcaraz pulled off a miraculous run at the US Open that saw him spend a record 23 hours and 39 minutes on court through seven matches.

Ad “Right now I'm enjoying the moment. I'm enjoying having the trophy in my hands. But, of course, I'm hungry for more.
